Chapter Eighty-Five: The View from the Garden
During Saturday breakfast, Lu's father's sudden words made Yuan Zhi jealous. "Yesterday at Liangliang's house, he actually used very fluent English to talk to his tutor, and when he left, he taught me a "goodafternoon", don't mention it, when Liangliang grows up, he must be as good as his father. ”
"Is it bright? I heard Lao Wang say, he got a full score in English and mathematics last time, which child is reading material at a glance, unlike our family, it is not reading material at all! Lu Mu continued.
When Yuan Zhi heard this, she really couldn't listen to it anymore, she wanted to escape, and when she took a step away, Lu's father came and said, "Xiaozhi, do you know how family members say in English?" ”
"Uh...... It's a familymember." Dad Lu raised his head, stared at her very seriously, and then said. "Are you sure?"
Yuan Zhi nodded, in fact, she didn't know if it was right or not, especially if the pronunciation was right. The footsteps took another step forward, and Dad Lu continued.
"Dad has something to do today, give you a big errand, you count the total electricity bill in the town, and then hand it over to me, and I will buy you something delicious." Lu's father stopped Yuan Zhi, who was about to leave.
"Oh, when will you give it to Daddy?" Yuan Zhi hurriedly asked.
"In the afternoon, I'll hand it in when I get there."
Yuan Zhi hummed, indicating that she had received it, and she thought that there was nothing else, so she continued to walk forward. "Wait a minute, Xiao Zhi, your second aunt asked you to go up to accompany Liangliang today."
"Mom, I'm ......" Yuan Zhi wanted to speak and stopped, but Lu's mother seemed to know what Yuan Zhi was going to say, so she said directly, "Xiao Zhi, it's okay, your father went to his house yesterday, it's your second aunt who is wrong, but you don't want to affect your relationship with Liangliang because of your second aunt." ”
"Mom, but ......" Yuan Zhi was really speechless, she had to count the electricity bill this afternoon, and she had to copy her homework, just counting the electricity bill, she had to count it for a day, and she had to write homework, how could she have time to go!
"Xiaozhi, I forgot what my mother said to you, it's big, don't be willful." Lu Mu suddenly said angrily.
Yuan Zhi didn't say anything, and walked out directly. What she does is generally a promise attitude.
……
In the afternoon, she brought a list full of electricity bills to Xiang Chenyu's house, and she wanted to use the time he was playing to count the electricity bills, so that she could accompany him and complete the tasks assigned by her father.
In the afternoon of summer, the weather was very stuffy and stuffy, Yuan Zhi came to the back garden of Xiang Chenyu's house, and saw that the garden was full of flowers of various colors in an instant, which looked beautiful, Yuan Zhi couldn't help but look obsessed, she walked back and forth in the garden, pinched a small white daisy, kept turning in her hand, and her footsteps couldn't help but spin.
Xiang Chenyu saw such a Yuan Zhi, and her memory was forever fixed on the time they first met, she was also so lively and active, and she hummed a little song in her mouth from time to time, saying out of tune in front of him, and when she introduced her name, her eyebrows fluttered, and her expression was exaggerated. But when did Yuan Zhi suddenly become something he didn't even recognize? Was she aware of his family's background or was it because her family often tried to get her close to him? He didn't know.
He had always hated having strangers approaching him, and he was already very cold, and he took a caring attitude towards everything, but she kept talking after her, and there was a lot of nonsense. However, at some point she had entered his heart, perhaps because she had a mask, and he was the one who had seen her truest side.
